Twisted: When Giants' Johnny Cueto uncoils, some see visions of Luis Tiant

Johnny Cueto, one of the Giants' pricey new starters, sometimes uses an absurdly twisting delivery.

He'll rotate so dramatically during his windup that hitters will glimpse the back of his No. 47 jersey just before he uncoils and releases the pitch.When Cueto does that, he looks just like ..."Yeah, he reminds me of me a little," said Luis Tiant, the Boston Red Sox legend. "But he doesn't do it as much as I did. He needs to do it more."Tiant, like Cueto, was part pitcher, part roulette wheel. Hitters not only had to guess what pitch was coming, but also from which angle and which release point.
